She also held close the memory of her beloved companion, Jimmy Leon Waters, Sr., whom she missed dearly since his passing in 2020. She was a devoted member of Ellenton Baptist Church.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy Leon Waters, Sr.; nephew, Craig Lewis; and brother-in-law, Albert Waters.
